This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Mauritius, Rock on Peak, 2002 - I was incredulous when I saw this distant pinnacle with a large boulder resting on its tip. I have never been able to find its name or any mention of it.

I have yet to identify this bird. This photos highly enhanced to bring out the color in the feathers. It appears dark blue and white in real life. I've been trying to take photos of this bird for about 8 years but it's always too skiddish and flies away. In Tajikistan, however, I was finally able to get close!
